Rugby Football legend and Australian heavyweight contender Paul Gallen (10-0-1, 5 KOs) is confident of defeating betting favorite and former WBA heavyweight champion Lucas “Big Daddy” Browne (29-2, 25 KOs) on April 21 at the Wollongong Entertainment Centre, Wollongong, NSW that will be televised on Foxtel Main Event Pay-Per-View. Browne is solid betting favorite at -210 with Paul Gallen at +175.
“I’ve heard it (the rumor) but you never know what to believe with sparring rumors. There’s another one going around that I got bashed the other day,” Gallen told Ben Damon of Fox Sports. “As it turns out Browne has been having all of his sparring filmed ahead of next week’s bout and stated he is very content with his preparation.”
Browne stated, “There’s no truth to that whatsoever. There is footage of every one of the spars I’ve done and if you look at it you won’t see me getting dropped. In fact if you watched it you would see me putting a few other blokes down. I’m extremely happy with how I’ve been going in the gym.”
has Browne declined so much that he can beat this guy? if so, this should certainly be his last fight. or has he already pretty much retired?
Browne needs to step away from the sport before he’s permanently damaged. Fighting Gallen in my opinion is about a paycheck rather than recognition. In addition, Browne still wants a little spotlight attention fighting someone he has a big chance to beat and brag about thirty years from now.
i meant to write; CANT beat this guy
but it seems no one cares about this fight anyway 🙂
Gallen will defeat Browne inside 5rounds…Gallen very fit & smart
Might be getting him at the right time-interesting match.
Paul is smaller and lighter and only has one KO win If he loses this fight his career is still good If Lucas loses this fight his career is back to zero and his former world title will be worthless Lucas can should and has to win
Browne has MMA form. Winner should fight Dereck Lewis –
The black beast attacks down under.
